love/life Series Book 1.5 (A companion novella)

He waited. He watched. Now he’s free.

Brooks Spencer spent eighteen months locked inside California’s Solano Correctional Facility—long enough to perfect his patience, sharpen his obsession, and bide his time. Branded a stalker. Dismissed as delusional. But Brooks knows the truth: Carmindy Colleen Welch belongs to him.

When the governor signs an emergency release order due to prison overcrowding, Brooks walks free—and vanishes. No parole officer, no halfway house, no intention of rehabilitation. Just one mission: find Carmindy.

She’s headed to New York City for one week. A press event. A luxury hotel. Public smiles and red carpets. It’s all so predictable. So visible. And Brooks has learned how to move in the shadows.

In these chilling journal entries, readers enter the mind of a man who believes he’s misunderstood—not dangerous, not unstable, just devoted. Through his twisted logic and obsessive prose, The Brooks Spencer Journal offers a disturbing glimpse into the psyche of a predator hiding in plain sight.

This is not fiction. This is a warning.
